PR Stats is pleased to announce an upcoming practical workshop on Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), designed for researchers working in evolutionary biology, population genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, and related disciplines.
The course provides hands-on training in GWAS methodologies, taking participants from genomic data processing and quality control through association testing, population structure analysis, meta-analysis, and polygenic prediction.
Topics covered include:
- Genotype phasing and imputation using PHASEIT2 and IMPUTE2
- Genotype quality control and filtering
- Association testing using PLINK and SNPTEST
- GWAS meta-analysis using GWAMA and METAL
- Next-generation sequencing workflows with GATK
- Population structure analysis and PCA
- Manhattan plots and LocusZoom visualisation
- Polygenic risk scores and missing heritability
The course combines theoretical foundations with practical exercises and real-world genomic datasets.
All sessions will be recorded, allowing participants in different time zones to follow the course. Recordings will remain accessible for 30 days after the course.
